 What is up guys, welcome back to the John Key channel. Thanks so much for watching It's a little bit of a mess right now in my room Which I call my studio, but not really it's just a room that is extra and I use for my stuff So that being said I thought about currently in the process of taking photos for cuts clothing The awesome clothing brand that I'm working with right now. They send over some shirts And there's my light for a review, which that will come out later So stay tuned, but you can go to my Instagram and see some of the stuff that I've been Producing so pretty pumped. Hi, so I thought I want to vlog my process Hi, I want to vlog my process in taking photos for this next spread And so I thought I'm gonna whip off the good old vlogging camera and Fill my process. So this is it. Don't judge me. It's super dirty I've been trying to move stuff around stuff has been in the closet now It's out of the closet because I need this shot for the shirts, but basically This is what I'm working with right now. It's really dirty. Don't judge But it's so far so good. Now. Let me show you what I'm currently doing so Here we have Addy. This is all garbage. Don't judge me. Hi, Addy. How's it going? Good job. And so this is what I've been doing here. Let me show you some of the Some of the stuff I have been shooting Look at that. It's not purple, I promise. Oh, that's some other stuff Yeah, some product photos for you know cuts clothing and basically what I did is I Literally took everything out of that closet, which is right there. So embarrassing and I kind of made it into like a mini mini almost lighting studio if you will Down a bit and so I got my one key light here coming down from the angle above and I just having a shirt Just flat, you know lay flat. So all you can see is that shirt and the camera So pretty pumped about it. I'm gonna take some photos and It's gonna be awesome. So let's get into it. So basically, this is what I'm gonna be doing, right? I'm lining up the shot just like this I don't know why it's so purple. Maybe this is my ND filter, but I'm lining up the shot Just like that. And so what I'm missing is light at the bottom left So what I'll do is bring in my young new O light And I'll switch it over to you Straight white. I'll put it right There kind of angle it a little bit. Wow, this is so bad so messy But hey, this is the process and then I'll have it just like this And it's made a complete difference. I'll tell you that much and so Snap the photo and boom. They don't go into edit it. It is essentially the process of bringing photos to life Right now and that's essentially it like that's my process right now of getting these photos And what I want to do is just get three maybe five photos that I really use for the Instagram spread Tag cuts clothing and go from there. Hi, Addy. So I'm gonna get to it some more and Get some more done. So you're back in a bit. I should mention something I'm using Canon 5D Mark 4 with a 70 to 200 lens only because I mean, this is kind of overkill, but I'm only shooting. Let me There we go. I'm only shooting with this huge lens because I love the depth of field that brings out in photos And it's such a zoom lens that it compresses your image so much and brings kind of everything to life versus fiber He's a 24 to 70. It would just be kind of like a flat light image, which I don't want I want it to be buttery smooth. So just just so you know Here's a pro tip since I can't really have this angled. It's not able to hold by itself some gas tape you just Just like this angle it and then tape it down You should have the perfect angle So that works. Okay, so here. I'm just gonna try something kind of just, you know, the flat light thing But I don't know how I feel about it. I probably will scrap this whole idea. It's not The greatest. I don't think I need a bigger table and I'm gonna scrap it, but think I've some good b-roll of this. Oh Man, I actually like this lighting quite a bit. This is actually really sick It's actually really nice. I might use this Okay, so I'm done with the t-shirts and taking photos of cuts Trusty old camera here, but here's the thing felt like I needed more Photos, but at the same time I feel like I don't need more photos If that makes sense because you know less is more kind of mentality and so since I wanted to do I Wanted to get more photos. I decided on not getting more because I didn't want to Not limit my creativity, but I didn't want to overextend what I was trying to do Like I set a goal out and now it's to take three to five good photos for the Instagram spread, right? And so that's what I'm going to do not try to go above and beyond like I was gonna try to you know put That's where I'm trying to put you know the shirts hang from the ceiling and kind of hang You know all in free form against the wall, but I'm like that would take too much time But my goal wasn't that essentially I don't want to create different type of content when that was in my goal And so I think it's important for us create as photographers to go on a shoot set goals and like get the shots That you want to get I know that sometimes it changes and you know things come up And you have to adapt and that's all part of being a creator a content creator a photographer videographer Etc. You just have to go with the flow, you know adapt to adapt to the different changes And so it wasn't really a change. I mean it's all me There's no one else telling you what to do here But I just wanted to make sure that I was on point and not going away from my specific goals for this mini shoot So kind of the last thing that I'm going to do is is this I have I Have these shirts. I have the cuts kind of just Folded like this and so I thought about doing like a like a gift kind of idea where they're laid out like they're laid out like this And they come here, you know one by one. I'll have to edit it and make it flow nice But essentially it'll just be that just one after another appearing and disappearing so that's what I'm gonna do next and I'm gonna set the camera up so you guys can see that portion and Hope will you learn something from all of this? So let's get started. So I've got a 50 shutter speed I've got a 5.0 aperture and a 250 ISO so this is what I'm gonna do. I'll press record I have a focus Let it sit there for a little bit. I'll take this out of the way Let that sit take this out of the way Let that sit there Take a shirt off Let it sit there and then what I'm gonna do is take the shirt again put it back on here Let it sit Right. So the point being is I'm taking the shirt, you know away from the next shirt I will be able to stitch together the footage and make it kind of like a gift or a jiff whatever you prefer So essentially that's my behind the scenes with how I shoot product photography and cuts clothing. I hope you enjoyed it I hope something came of value for you This little one wants to join Hope you guys enjoying the office background because it's always on we're always watching it All right next thing on the to-do list is sorry This is falling down to me But my ring light is just not secured next thing on my to-do list is get this room in order Make it a little bit better gonna get to work and it's gonna be awesome. Thanks so much for watching I will catch next time on the Johnny Q channel peace
